it seems good racer car

As incredible as it is, the Tesla has its drawbacks beyond the stiff ride. The interior looks good from afar, but for a $100,000 car, it could use some work. The Tesla Roadster 2.5 S is a massively impressive vehicle, more spacecraft than sports car.....

For the price-- $109,000 to $150,000-- you could buy an Aston Martin, Porsche or Mercedes Benz AMG-- all vehicles that have amazing performance, unlimited range AND extremely high quality interiors. So, the Tesla is basically a very over-priced Lotus Elise with an electric motor.

I think you be better off buying a lotus, who designed the body anyhow. I am unsure what the sport adds other then 'name'. I personally wonder if you can reprogram a regular telsa's CPU for sports performance.Diseal Fans do this all the time. Like the previous poster said its only a matter of time before mainstream brands catch up. I think they have not built an electric supercar because the niche market is not there yet.
